West Coast Win Round 5

Webster 6 weeks

Websters sister and brother :

I can't for the life of me work out what he was thinking. This hasn't been in our game for longer than he's been alive, if it's not 6 weeks or more the AFL have got it wrong. With the SPP case only last week if they needed something to test the system they didn't have to wait long.

IF the AFL are serious a big IF
He gets 10 weeks

Probably ends up with 6 showing the AFL don't really care

Completely agree

For mine it’s the four that SPP got, then two for stupidity (the sisters have proven it’s a family trait) and then the AFL can start dealing with the fact it’s late (balls gone), he’s left the ground and the force of the impact…

Alastair Clarkson was embroiled in an ugly verbal stoush with St Kilda players in the wake of Jimmy Webster's late bump on Jy Simpkin on Sunday.

At quarter-time, Clarkson told Webster he would cop a hefty ban from the tribunal, with expletives among the words used by the four-time premiership coach.

Webster's teammate Dougal Howard responded to Clarkson, who then went back at Howard and other Saints in a derogatory manner.

Clarkson used the term "c---sucker", which was heard by multiple players, fitness staff and AFLW footy boss Tess McManus, who was also nearby.

One onlooker described Clarkson's spray as "explosive." This version of events was corroborated by multiple sources.

Typical Clarkson, little man syndrome

But, he saw his player flattened in a bump that is long gone out of the modern game, can totally understand his reaction.

I haven’t heard the use of the word cock sucker for years!

He couldn't have picked a worse time to flatten someone, could get anything but likely hood only 4 - 5 weeks.

Surely gets more than SPP?!

Good on him for sticking up for his players!

Surely gets 8 for that.

Yeah nah. The book will be thrown. That's six ten years ago.

Very poor form by his siblings not you

Webster’s hit classed as careless, not intentional…
We’re still miles off as a league when it comes to protecting the head & addressing the concussion issue.
